I don't know what your plans are, but if you have a lot of stuff to move, my boyfriend and I are considering a U-box. For like $1500 someone will pickup all your stuff, drive it across country, and then deliver it to your new pad. ($1500 for a one-bedroom apartment.) Since we want to take the opportunity to drive across country and see some cities along the way (we're moving from LA to Alabama), we thought it'd be easier than lugging a huge trailer. 
I will say, though, as someone who has moved across the world twice: only take the stuff you really need. You'd be surprised what you can live without and what things will be irrelevant in a new environment.

I am considering it pretty heavily! I'm actually visiting the campus this weekend. I'm hoping to pick the brains of the current students about housing, and tips for finding a place to live from another state. Have you visited yet? 

Hi,
I also got accepted to the program. I just spent almost a week there and met several students and people in the department. I'd be happy to answer any questions you have if you are still thinking of going.

I'm considering moving to Tuscaloosa for my MA so this thread is way helpful! Has anyone been accepted to a program? Would love to connect with people who are considering moving here for Fall 2017.
